What can I say? This one is about witches and I LOVE witches. This one did fall a bit flat for me though, but I think that has more to do with how L.J. Smith does her storytelling and less to do with the story itself.
Definitely an entertaining read and would recommend this if you've liked the first two in the series so far.

TEAM WITCH, y'all. I think this one was my favorite of the three- animals, witchery, no vampires, women all errwherre. I would have been PISSED if she'd drunk from the Cup of Lethe. So. That's good. This is also the one that has a "militant feminist" pre-teen in it. Her guinea pig is oppressed by the patriarchy, y'all.

I read this series when it first came out back in 1996...still waiting for the final book. And I loved it as much 23 years later.

One of the problems with reading a series like this for a challenge comes with not having a break in-between the stories. Third one in and though the story is different and features different characters, it still felt rather 'samey'.
This time round we focus on sisters Blaise and Thea, and their battle (I can't help but see it that way for the majority of the story) for human Eric.
These two witches do - as we might come to expect - have powers at their disposal and we come to learn a little more about the life of the witches in the Night World. Both are prepared to break the rules, and - of course - we have Thea realising that Eric is her soulmate and she has to decide if she's willing to risk everything for love. I was surprised that the people around them seemed so oblivious to what was going on, because they were hardly subtle and the effects of their actions were hard to overlook.
Gripes aside, this is pretty good fun and entertaining reading though I'm not sure I'll feel the need to read any more of the series.
